Some parts of the lesson plan like the definitions for words of the day are local only to my classes. Also, this lesson plan is tweaked depending on the individual tendencies of any class and students.

Point out the Lesson Plan, mention if we move fast, we can get to the game quicker.

Tell them my contact info, and say that I am busy. I want to talk to you, but if I can't it is not because I don't like them, it is because I am busy. I like all of you. Please say hello again or e-mail me. E-mail is much better.

Mention that if ask a question and they don't know the answer, it's fine to say I don't know. Write No why and that it's usually OK to say No reason.

Usually OK for No reason. because some times students need to answer why? - like, if you know they are cheating and you want to ask why they chose a certain answer?

Go over the words of the day.

Homework: Check to see if the students remembered. If almost no one did, re-assign it for the next week, and skip the activity.

I didn't go slow enough with the show and tell instructions and the kids didn't get it. there were a few boys with a lot of energy and every time I turned around or slowed down to help a student they started hitting eachother which got all the kids around them excited, as well.
